Is There Love? - poem

How can a guy claims he loves a gal
if in his mind she is so arrogant,
she is bossy and unreasonable,
she doesn't have love for others, etc?

How can a gal accept the love of a guy
if she feels he has low regards for her,
she feels lousy and unworthy of him,
what she shares out of love is deemed as something else?

Love believes in the loved one,
it clarifies, not assume;
it listens for the intention, not the words;
it corrects gently, not rebuke sharply.

Love never belittle the loved one,
it does not label or insult,
it does not make one feel 'rotten'
it does not remove one's self-esteem.
